New book in the works: The Night Chemist !

A princess by birth but a chemist by trade, when Aylin Aga must wed her estranged former lover or risk the tenuous peace between their khanates, she accepts her duty until unraveling family secrets and unforeseen love force her to reconcile who she wants to be with who she has to become.

Back in May 2025, I had a random dream about a love triangle between a princess, a widowed prince, and the sexy male nanny looking after the prince's children. I told a few friends about it, and they encouraged me to turn that random dream into a book. Many rewrites and edits later, now I'm querying a 109k-word adult romantasy novel rooted in Turkic mythology that makes use of my doctoral research into warrior women among steppe nomads! (sorta)

I put together a playlist that corresponds to the book to capture the vibes as the plot progresses. I refuse to use Spotify because its policies are horrendous for the actual *human* musicians on there, so instead I made the playlist in Apple Music. Which is only marginally better, but I do what I can. Also keep in mind...I'm a metalhead, so my definition of "vibes" might be a bit different than you expect for the average romantasy. But hey, there's a lot of Sleep Token.
